Observations regarding the brakes

The best and least expensive solution is to replace your pads. Takes little effort and will improve your stopping power.

This^^^ Stock pads don't have aggressive bite are set up for longer life & low dusting. New performance pads are a great "best bang for your buck" upgrade.

I have a 2020 JLUR with about 700 miles on it. It feels like it shutters yo a stop at times. I’m not sure if it’s a brake issue or if the rear end is hopping slightly due to being lighter than the front. Is this normal? What say you?

Stopping how hard, on what kind of surface, from what speed? Doesn’t sound normal for typical driving.

Stopping at a “medium rate” I guess. Not fast. It happens on flat surfaces. I’m wondering if the spare tire should be tightened. Maybe that’s got a slight bounce to it.

On my Rubi at least, I feel the brakes are actually pretty good. There is a lot of pedal travel and the initial bite isn't amazing. However, their total capacity seems pretty high and they're easy to modulate. I'd rather have a longer brake throw and better control than brakes with a strong initial bite that fade quick or have a low threshold.

I agree. Do you have any shutter/bounce/vibration that seems to come from the rear at times while braking?
